What is a good gift for an 8 year old girl, these days?

Hello Mady, I hope things are going well.

Mady in my grand children's gifts I always ask them for their wish list. I get several options from them and then it is still a surprise for them wondering which gift they will get.

Getting a wish list ensures your grand baby gets something she really, really, really wants.

Once my gifts are sent from their list they are all excited thinking and knowing they are getting a gift they wanted. Once they receive it I get calls of total gratitude.

Just a thought and it works great with my grand babies.

HUGS (((((Mady)))))

PS the other responders suggestion of a microscope is a good idea. I had one at your grand daughters age and I had hours upon hours of fun with it.

Hi,

Here are some gifts you can choose for your granddaughter.

1. A mobile phone

She is eight and she goes to school. Soon, she will be going out more often. So, a mobile phone will be a meaningful gift for her. You can check out some cheap boost mobile phones and pick one for her. When you gift her the phone, tell her that she has to stay connected to you and the other family members always. This gift will help you to know that she is safe outside. Check out some affordable phones here http://www.become.com/cheap-boost-mobile-phones

2. An iPod

Kids like music! You can choose a pink iPod for your granddaughter. It will help her to stay stylish in school! Teenagers love to stay in lime light and this is a fancy gift that will make her really happy.

3. A pretty formal dress

Check out this dress http://www.fashionstylestrend.com/dresses/formal-d... Go for a similar formal dress or a nice casual attire for her. You can also buy a pair of nice shoes to go with this dress.

4. A bicycle

Pick a bicycle if she is a fun loving girl who loves to go out!

Buy her a microscope (if you are willing to spend some money) or...you could buy her a pet. A pet preferably a bug :D A cockroach, a spider or a grasshopper.

Here is a horse mandala design, you can buy it at amazon:
